La Farga Rossell - Centre d'Interpretació del ferro
Andorra's metallurgical tradition dates back to ancient times. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the ironworks represented the golden age of the country's iron and steel industry. In a small production area known as the workshop, craftsmen were able to transform iron ore into ingots that were exported with great success to the Catalan market.
